About Josie

Josie Peacock is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with five years of experience, including work in private practice, the NHS, and a charity supporting people at end of life and palliative care. She holds NCPS as a credential and aims to offer calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck. Josie presents a warm, down-to-earth presence and focuses on helping people feel heard and understood.

She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and addictions by listening first and then working together to find steady steps forward. Sleep and rest difficulties are among the issues she supports, alongside grief, self-esteem struggles and relationship concerns. Josie also addresses career strain, parenting pressures, compassion fatigue and the specific challenges that can come with trauma and abuse.

Her style is friendly and respectful. She emphasises active listening and avoids judgement while helping people build practical routines, coping skills and motivation. Josie aims to boost confidence and help people develop self-care habits they can use outside sessions.

The therapeutic approaches she draws on include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centred work, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and hypnotherapy. She adapts these methods to suit each person’s needs and goals rather than following a fixed plan.

Josie works in English and accepts international clients. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy button. The subscription-based sessions can be cancelled at any time, with fees varying by location and availability.

How Josie uses different approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them. It encourages choosing actions that fit a person’s values, which can help with anxiety, depression and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. It helps people understand connection and trust issues and can be useful for intimacy concerns, relationship difficulties and some trauma-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Josie will discuss different methods and try what fits best for each person’s goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape sessions so they feel practical and relevant.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to work with a therapist based elsewhere, which is helpful if someone is relocating or living internationally. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and pacing to suit the online setting, helping people build better sleep and rest habits alongside other goals.
